There’s a softness, with the group settled, happily letting the feathered jangle provide the track with enough rhythm to keep your ears perked up. Adding into the magic is the careful harmonizing of the vocals, which is one of their trademarks in excellence.

Plus, we announced the return of Welcome to the Jangle on Sunday, March 15th. But, new stuff from the likes of Memorials and Greg Mendez caught our ears, as did the newest single from zzzahara, who included Winter on their latest single. Friko continued to keep us guessing on where they’re headed, and some bonus indiepop from the Maureens and Succulents! Jump in below!
